JIMMY FALLON - FALLON CONFIRMED NEW LATE NIGHT HOST

Comedian JIMMY FALLON will replace comedian CONAN O BRIEN as the new host of U.S. TV talk show LATE NIGHT, network NBC confirmed on Monday (12May08).
Former Saturday Night Live star Fallon is set to make his debut next June (09) when O'Brien moves to an earlier time slot on NBC's schedules to replace The Tonight Show host Jay Leno.
Ben Silverman, co-chair of NBC Entertainment and Universal Media Studios, says of the new line-up, "Jimmy (Fallon) is more than just a likeable guy and a great comedian, he is genuinely interested in what people have to say."
